We all know how important it is to back up our files regularly, but we also know how much of a nuisance the process can be as well. Corsair’s new Voyager Port is designed to help simplify backups. The Voyager Port transforms any USB flash drive into a portable backup and recovery device that includes a simple, one-button file backup feature.
The Voyager Port doesn’t require any external power and
features a USB 2.0 port so it is compatible with the latest high-speed USB
flash drives. The Voyager Port seamlessly integrates with the included copy of NovaBACKUP
10. To use the Voyager Port, all you have to do is insert your USB flash drive
and press the
backup button. All of your important documents, photos, email
contacts, music, and other data will be copied to the flash drive.
While it’s unlikely your entire hard drive will fit on a flash drive, most of us care most about backing up important files. Considering even a 1GB drive can store quite a few important documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and PDF files, a flash drive may be a good backup option for these types of files. Should you require even more USB storage space than an average USB flash drive, you could pick up a high capacity flash drive such as Corsair’s 64GB Flash Voyager.
Because flash drives are more durable and much smaller
than portable hard disk drives, they’re an ideal backup solution. Corsair also
recommends the Voyager Port for use as a total backup solution for notebooks
and netbooks with small main storage drives. By using NovaBACKUP 10’s Disaster
Recovery option, you can take a complete snapshot of the system and preserve
your data. The Voyager Port is backed by a 10-year warranty.
So this little dock comes with imaging software? ...if so its cool, but odd in that the dock is made for flash drives; none of which [flash drive] would be able to image an entire drive unless you are using Win2000 or something (or happen to have a 10GB HD). But then again I guess re-reading it...if you are imaging a netbook and you have a 16GB flash drive, you may just be able to get away with it |

I see no point in this product whatsoever. They're trying to sell you software and disguise it as hardware. Instead of plugging into the dock, you could plug your drive into the computer. Instead of clicking the dock button, you could click an icon. What a total waste of material resources. |

But its only the push one one button!! haha |

Hehe... yeah... I couldn't get the same effect by configuring one of the multimedia keys om my keyboard to launch the same progr... oh wait, nevermind. |
